Exception Handling in Java

Exception Handling in C++
• Added to C++ in 1990
• Design is based on that of Ada, and ML
C++ Exception Handlers
try {
throw an actual parameter
}
catch (formal parameter) {
-- handler code }
catch (formal parameter) {
-- handler code
}
• A throw expression accepts one parameter which is passed as an argument to the exception
handler.
• The type of this parameter is very important, since the type of the argument passed by the
throw expression is checked against it, and only in the case they match, the exception is catch.
